Basic Abilities
Developer Comment: Fenix has proven himself quite powerful. While we’re happy with his current state, players facing Fenix still aren’t uninstalling the game at the rate we’d like. Fenix’s new impenetrable shield, while similar to its previous form, should further dissuade enemy players from engaging Fenix in any way. Plasma Cutter will now circle Fenix only once so players hit by the first rotation will die instantly rather than almost instantly, saving valuable time. As for the Phase Bomb, we found too many players consistently ran for a healing fountain after sparring with Fenix, so we’ve upped the bomb’s damage near the fountains to encourage more original play, such as teleporting to base, or jumping off a bridge. Lastly, Fenix’s Warp ability has undergone some major changes. Warp’s cooldown has been reduced to allow this otherwise defenseless hero a reliable means of escape, and its range is now unlimited because @#&% you, we’re Blizzard and you’ll take it you little %&#$. You’ll take it any day, anyway we tell you because we’ve got you by your little nerdy balls. Don’t like it? Play DOTA instead. But you won’t, will you? That game's too complicated! That’s what we thought. So shut up and download our patch you filthy, lonely animal. Gems are a buck off this week
